I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better! If I'm presented with a fast horse or a fast boat, I still get that shiver of excitement and I cannot resist. Luckily I never seem to have any accidents, and thank God for that.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

If you have a great love of singing, supported by others' fondness for your voice, then it is worth making every effort, of making every sacrifice, to achieve your goal. A great voice will easily find teachers who are willing to help a struggling young talent, and the ways of the Lord are infinite.

'Passione' is a selection of the music moments that have accompanied my youth; a collection of cherished memories, of moments, of fleeting emotions, of sleepless nights.

You can be great only if it is your destiny.

It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.

I started as a lyrical singer. But it was through the pop universe that I reached international fame.
